Just this morning over coffee, DH asked me “Do you really get to be this happy for the rest of our lives?” Neither of us had any happy, healthy marital role models in our lives. We both thought happy, healthy, fulfilling marriages were for other people.

@sara5ann: good grief YES, I wish I would have met him 25 years ago!!! I wouldn’t and don’t wish my children away, bu I’d do certainly wish we’d met sooner in life. We are such a perfect match, we both could have had a much happier life much earlier on. I’d remarry him again a million times over now that I’ve found him!
